Mumbai’s Western India Automobile Association (WIAA) at Churchgate, has been the site for some interesting flag-offs in the past few months. On Tuesday, an Ahmedabad family and other team members were flagged off from the Indian Merchants Chamber (IMC) where the WIAA office is located. The family was off on an adventure where they aimed to traverse 12,000 km and 16 countries in a 1950 vintage car.

Earlier, the WIAA had seen yet another flag-off of an Indian off road expedition team, which planned to drive from Mumbai to Magadan (in Siberia, Russia). The all desi vehicles and team are on their way ready to tackle the most hostile weather conditions and tame the most challenging terrain, one could encounter as a driver.
